Benefits
Tetra Pak® Agitator IBC is specially designed for use with industry-standard IBC containers. The agitator is lowered into position by either a forklift truck or an overhead hoist. The unique design allows the IBC’s contents to be agitated consistently, and independently of liquid level. The liquid surface is unbroken, reducing the risk of air entrainment. The mixing blades open automatically in the container and a chain beneath them ensures mixing at the bottom of the IBC even at a low fill level.
Capacity:
Designed for standard IBC with a capacity of 1000 litres.
Applications:
Any liquids up to 200 cP viscosity such as:
- Food concentrates
- Liquid aromas and flavours
- Juices
- Liquid chemical compounds
Gentle product treatment with unrivalled efficiency
- Exceptionally gentle and efficient treatment thanks to auto-extending mixer blades.
- Extremely fast mixing result despite slow rotation of the mixing blades. Mixes four times faster than conventional agitators.
- Hygienic and easy-to-clean design with no bearings or other parts than blades that have product contact.
- Highly reliable and long-life due to slow mixer blade rotation speed that causes less wear on the motor and moving parts.
- Low maintenance – besides the motor the agitator is maintenance-free.
Features
Auto-extending mixer blades
Large blades for high-efficiency mixing
The unique design of Tetra Pak® Agitator IBC enables large blades to enter the narrow IBC opening in an adjacent position. Once the agitator is switched on and centrifugal force is applied, the blades separate automatically inside the liquid. Their large surface area permits a slow agitation speed that mixes the liquid gently yet up to four times faster than conventional agitator models.
Stainless steel chain on mixer blades
Accurate mixing assured even at low fill level
A chain can be connected for low filling levels. The chain is suspended beneath the mixer blades and ensures an accurate mixing at the base of the container. The chain is disconnected during normal operation.
Mixer blade status indicator
Monitor agitator status at all times
A red stripe shows on the agitator frame to communicate that the agitator has ceased operation or has yet to start. This keeps the operator informed of current mixing status at all times.
Options
Frequency converter
Simply control the rotation speed
Frequency converter to adapt mixing rotation speed depending on product type and liquid volume.
Explosion Protection (ATEX zone 22)
Make it ATEX safe
Modifications can be made so that the agitator complies with ATEX zone 22.
Storage Support
